Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Edgar and his crew fabricate custom sliding tracks for a new companionway hatch to allow the two-part hatch covers to overlap and fully clear the entrance. They first create a mold at the Woods on Water workshop, using paulownia wood for its strength-to-weight ratio.1:26 Back at the boat, they laminate the tracks using chopped fiberglass strands to navigate the narrow profile, then reinforce the structure with a full fiberglass mat.6:00 The team mounts the tracks using a combination of Sikaflex adhesive and screws.12:03 To ensure a watertight seal and structural integrity, they drill oversized holes, fill them with epoxy, and re-drill to prevent water intrusion into the core.14:14 The final design features a 10-centimeter overlap between the two hatch sections to minimize leakage.16:13 The installation allows the hatch to slide completely open, preventing head clearance issues when entering or exiting the cabin.16:03 The crew plans to finish the installation with final sanding, painting, and permanent side closures.16:48
